Axiom 200G QSFP56 Passive DAC
The Axiom MCP1650-H001E30-AX is a 200G QSFP56 passive direct attach cable built for InfiniBand HDR links. It ships pre-coded for Mellanox compatibility and meets multi-sourcing agreement requirements for use in compliant switches and routers. The one-metre twinax assembly carries unique serialization to avoid address conflicts in dense deployments.
Suited for high-density HDR clusters
This cable suits administrators wiring 200G QSFP56 ports in Mellanox-based HDR fabrics where a short, low-latency copper link is preferred. It is not for links that exceed the one-metre reach, for active optical or transceiver-based connections, or for ports using a different form factor or data rate.
Stable under continuous HDR traffic
As a passive twinax design the cable adds no active components that could throttle or introduce jitter during sustained 200G throughput. Signal integrity is maintained by the MSA-compliant construction and factory serialization, so the link remains consistent across long-running compute or storage workloads without the thermal variation seen in active modules.

Questions about this item
What port type must my switch or NIC have to use this 200G QSFP56 passive DAC?
The cable terminates in QSFP56 connectors, so each end requires a 200G QSFP56 port on the switch, router or network adapter.
Can I mix this 1m cable with longer Axiom 200G QSFP56 DACs in the same link?
Yes, the cable is fully MSA compliant and pre-coded for OEM compatibility, so it will interoperate with other compliant 200G QSFP56 direct-attach cables of different lengths.
How can I verify the link is operating at 200G after installation?
Check the port statistics on your switch or host — the interface should report a 200Gb/s speed, zero CRC errors and a healthy signal-to-noise ratio on both lanes.
